einstimmig
unanimous
Wenn alle in einer Gruppe die gleiche Meinung haben oder gleich entscheiden.
The German word "einstimmig" is an adjective that means "unanimous." It is made up of "ein" meaning "one" and "Stimme" meaning "voice" or "vote." Therefore, "einstimmig" literally translates to "with one voice."
Similar words in German include:
- "einhellig" (unanimous),
- "unumstritten" (undisputed),
- "übereinstimmend" (congruent or coinciding).
The differences between these words are subtle:
- "Einstimmig" strictly refers to unanimity in voting or decision-making (everyone agrees).
- "Einhellig" can also imply strong collective agreement or common opinion, not necessarily formal voting.
- "Unumstritten" suggests that there is no controversy or dispute, typically used beyond voting contexts.
- "Übereinstimmend" means that opinions, actions, or information agree or coincide, usually doesn't imply any formal decision-making process like a vote.
